A book about a barnacle? Yes!

This story is perfectly adorable, bringing not only a light touch to the universal problem of boredom, but a gentle reminder that, sometimes things are better than they appear and a little gratitude can go a long way.

Pair BARNACLE with another book by Fenske – A PIG, A BOX, AND A FOX, a 2016 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor award winner and excellent choice for emerging readers.
